When uploading images to a web service
• Images may contain information that can be used to identify the user, such as recording dates
and times, and location information.
Confirm details carefully before uploading images to a web service.
• Ensure you remove the battery and card from the camera.
When the battery is left inserted in the camera, a small amount of current will always flow even
if the camera is turned off.
If the battery is left in the camera, it may over-discharge, and be rendered unusable even after
charging.
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature.
(Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF); recommended humidity: 40%RH
to 60%RH)
• If storing for a long period of time, it is recommended that the battery be charged once per year,
fully drained in the camera, then removed from the camera and then stored again.
• We recommend storing the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or
a cabinet.
• Check all the parts before recording when you have not used the camera for a long period of
time.
• Recorded data may be damaged or lost if the camera breaks down due to inappropriate
handling.
Panasonic will not be liable for any damage caused due to loss of recorded data.
• Make sure the tripod is stable when the camera is attached to it.
• When using a tripod or unipod, removal of the battery may not be possible.
• Make sure that the screw on the tripod or unipod is not at an angle when attaching or removing
the tripod or unipod.
Using excessive force may damage the camera tripod mount.
Also, care is required because tightening the screw excessively may damage the camera, or
cause the rating label to come off.
• When using this unit with a large-diameter lens, the lens may come into contact with the
pedestal depending on the tripod/unipod. Tightening the screw with the lens and pedestal in
contact with each other may damage this unit or the lens. Therefore it is recommended to
attach the tripod adaptor (DMW-TA1: optional) before mounting on the tripod/unipod.
• Please also refer to the operating instructions for the tripod or unipod.
• If you attach a heavy interchangeable lens (more than about 1 kg/35.3 oz) to the camera body,
do not carry the camera by the shoulder strap.
Hold the camera and the lens when carrying them.
